The Federal Government says it has received verified lists of graduates who are to benefit from its N-POWER project, from thirteen states.
This, as it prepares to start the payment of monthly stipends to the 200,000 graduates engaged under the job creation programme of the Buhari administration.
The spokesman to the Vice President, Laolu Akande says that graduates in some states have actually been deployed to their primary places of assignment.

Allocation for education is too small. Every nation has two major resources; human and land. Humans constitute the active that work on the land which is passive. Educate and train the humans, prosperity would be achieved. Nigerians compete well with others at the cutting edge of science and technology when outside the nation. But due to poor and regrettable underfunding of education and training, the nation is unable to feel the impact of over 200 higher institutions in Nigerian economy.
